Talk is cheap. Isn’t it? I have been yammering about wanting to start a running programme and, doing zilcho about it. Decided to haul ass to my favourite running track with the cutest companion – Chutney, my 2 year old silky + jack russell terrier mix. I forgot to bring my Nike+ though so I couldn’t track how fast I was running or how much. Well,  I still had fun heading out though. Plus, it was my first time running with Chutney on an actual trail so, I spent most of the run trying to stop him from running into people. I never knew how many people are actually afraid of dogs. Irrationally afraid. Chutney is a squirt and yet, I found myself more than once holding myself back when they literally cower in fear. I mean, seriously. Do they see how small he is?

I wanted to do the entire stretch of the track but, I started late and I was afraid that it would get dark before I reached the end so I went half way and turned back. Now, I want to actually start my C25K programme.

Wonderful beginnings. I had an awesome Monday sesh, did not push myself to failure but lifted a heavier weight compared to last week with NO back spasm. (more…)

It is not a mistake that week 10 and 11 are missing. Week 10 was canvassing the streets of HK looking for my next bargain and 11 trying not to lose a lung or faint from coughing too hard.

D2 is different from E in terms of training style but he is as encouraging and, gives clear explanation of lifting posture, effective modifications if you are unable to complete it. (more…)
